In 1975 this was station B3 in the Glasgow Fire Service.

Station was rededicated after refurbishment on 16th September 2006.

When the new call signs were being implemented in the WEST SDA over a 7 week period beginning 31/8/2020  doing 1 LSO Area per week, Pollok was changed from V02 to B05.

In addition the new North-West Fire Station, Kelbourne Street, Glasgow, N.W., was opened in the Second World War year 1941. To this fire cover was also added during that period Pollokshaws and Marine Fire Stations, both of which were improvised and converted into Fire Stations during the Second World War period and are still in active service, pending the erection of new Stations.

We said “farewell” during the year to the old war time station at Pollokshaws which came under the demolisher prior to the site being utilised for housing purposes in the new Pollokshaws Development Plan.
The opening of Pollok and Castlemilk stations has greatly accelerated attendance in those areas and the fire cover is therefore much improved. Both stations were designed by and built under the supervision of the City Architect’s staff at a cost of approximately £64,000 each. The general layout and facilities, provided both from the operational aspect and from the requirements of the station personnel, were much admired by those present at the opening ceremonies and much favourable comment was made by representatives from all branches of Fire Service and ancillary organisations. As stated elsewhere, the Rt. Honourable the Lord Provost officiated at both ceremonies, Pollok on Monday, 16th April, 1962, and Castlemilk on Friday, 14th September, 1962. Councillor Isabella Carter, J.P., presided at the Pollok ceremony in her capacity as Convener of the Sub committee on Fire Brigade and Lighting, with Bailie Philip Stinton, J.P. Convener of the Police, etc., Committee, occupying the chair at Castlemilk. Both ceremonies were well attended by members of the Corporation, senior officials, representatives of neighbouring Fire Authorities and the Scottish Home and Health Department and other interested guests.

Strathclyde Fire Board decided that the lowest offer from Sim Building Group Limited, Kirkintilloch, amounting to £507,032.55, for the refurbishment of Pollok Fire Station and an extension to the provision of dignified facilities be accepted subject to the conditions detailed in the report by Glasgow City Council.
Strathclyde Fire Board decided that the Community Safety Building within Pollok Fire Station be named “Iain McGill House” after a former long serving Fire Officer with Glasgow Fire Service and Strathclyde Fire Brigade who was instrumental in promoting community safety initiatives. The Community Safety Building would be a focal point for local community groups and a resource and training facility for improving the safety and life skills of the community.
